Women Just Don't Like Drones

A Pew Research study has found a big gap between men and women in their outlook on U.S. drone strikes so popular with Barack Obama.   In six of the twelve countries surveyed, more than half of male respondents approved of drone strikes although only the United States (at 70% approval) got past the 60% mark.

The numbers were far lower for female respondents.  Only in the United States was there even a small majority of women (53%) who approved of drone strikes.

In Japan, men were four times more likely than women to support drone warfare.  In Canada, it was closer to two to one.
